Holiday Protection for the Fur Babies


With the holiday season right around the corner, it never hurts
to make known just how many everyday items can be less than
festive to our fur babies. If you have pets and want to look out
for them, and especially if you plan on taking them visiting into
unfamiliar territory, be sure and read up on these typical and
often unknown hazards.

Likewise, with all the additional food that tends to be available
in a household over the Winter season, there are precautions
to be reminded of regarding foods that not unhealthy and toxic
for cats and dogs.

Make sure you look out for your little (and not-so-little) guys
since they love to put anything and everything in their mouth
without a lick of forethought or discrimination!

Keep a fresh bottle of hydrogen peroxide available since giving
some to a pet can make them vomit up any plant or food they may
have ingested.

And keep your personal vet's--and all local vets'--emergency
phone numbers posted where you can find them in a hurry.
